Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Let Zhang Lancao Marry Wu Qingsong
After the wedding banquet concluded, Zhang Lancao handed one hundred yuan to her mother-in-law.
Granny Zhang accepted the money with a look of surprise on her face, “You’ve got money so quickly, surely it wasn’t that Wu Qingsong kid who gave it to you!”
Zhang Lancao didn’t say a word and was about to leave straightaway with her son.
Granny Zhang, looking at the money in her hand, her eyes gleaming, said, “Lancao, you’re just resigning yourself to this?
You really don’t want to marry Wu Qingsong anymore? That boy is quite wealthy now.
If you still want to marry him, I have an idea for you. Later, you can give one thousand yuan as a token of gratitude, how about that?”
Zhang Lancao slowed her steps upon hearing this, and Granny Zhang imdiately bead with glee.
She knew this woman wasn’t up to any good, always having that kid on her mind.
While she was with her own son, this shaless woman’s thoughts were already drifting to that young man.
And yet, she always pretended to be so deeply in love with her son—it was disgusting.
“Lancao, life must be hard for a woman raising two sons by herself, especially with another child on the way.
Besides, you’re still so young; remarrying is only a matter of ti.
Rather than marrying a stranger, wouldn’t it be better to marry Wu Qingsong, at least you two have so emotional foundation, don’t you?”
Hearing this, Zhang Lancao was even more tempted, but she dared not to admit it.
On the other side, Zhang Xiaoda asked with a gloomy face, “So, what is your idea?”
“Turn a raw rice into cooked rice, isn’t it simple?” Granny Zhang, with excitent written all over her face, began to talk.
Zhang Lancao’s heart pounded non-stop as she listened.
But Zhang Xiaoda took these words to heart.
“Granny, where can I buy those things?” Zhang Xiaoda asked.
Zhang Lancao, looking at her eldest grandson, left imdiately, smiling and pulling him along.
Without a word, Zhang Lancao’s face flushed a slight red as she quickly picked up her younger son and ran off.
Back in Xujia Village, Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but share the day’s events with her daughter as soon as she got ho, “Can you believe how city folks do things nowadays?
Getting married with all those balloons and songs, today’s wedding banquet was really festive.
There were so youngsters holding musical instrunts, dancing and singing too.”
It’s true, people’s lives have improved.
Mrs. Xu beca reflective.
Xu Ying listened with a smile, thinking that this was just the beginning; the future would be even brighter.
In the following decades, the developnt of Huaxia would be incredibly rapid.
“Mom, life will get better and better. Wait until we start our rural tourism business, then you’ll see how much young people enjoy life.
When you and Dad have spare ti, you can travel with them and see the world.”
Upon this, Mrs. Xu imdiately shook her head, “That won’t do, I need to help look after the children.
Your Granny Huo is getting old, she won’t be able to help you with the kids. I must help you.
Otherwise, with school and work, when would you have ti to look after the children?”
Xu Ying felt a warmth in her heart hearing Mrs. Xu’s words, “When the ti cos I will hire a nanny to look after the children.
You and Dad have worked hard all your lives, it’s ti to rest and travel, how nice would that be?”
Mrs. Xu shook her head, “I can’t bear to be apart from you all. I would rather stay with you than go off traveling.”
Seeing the atmosphere in the room turning sentintal, Xu Ying quickly changed the subject, “What delicious food was there today?”
“There wasn’t much that was particularly delicious; nothing compares to what my daughter can make,” Mrs. Xu said proudly.
Then she filled with nostalgia as she rembered Zhang Lancao from next door, she whispered, “Guess who I ran into today—Zhang Lancao.”
“They’re really shaless.”
“What happened?” Xu Ying asked curiously.
Mrs. Xu vented with a bellyful of anger, “Originally Wu Qingsong and your husband went out to do business together, and when there was trouble and he said he got caught, Zhang Lancao, after hearing the news, feared her child would be implicated. She imdiately broke up with Wu Qingsong. Now that she sees other people’s lives getting better and they have money, she eagerly wants to get back together with him. She doesn’t even consider her own status; she’s been married twice already, while Wu Qingsong is rich, handso, and it would be his first marriage. He must be out of his mind to marry a woman like that, and I don’t know where she gets the gall to plead with him to reconcile with her. You should have seen today, Zhang Lancao’s eyes practically twisted with rage when she saw Fuying.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Xu Ying couldn’t help but find it laughable as well.
Back then, as soon as Zhang Lancao heard Wu Qingsong was in trouble, her first instinct wasn’t to be concerned for his safety, but to propose they break up.
Such a woman was truly heartless and selfish.
Now seeing that his life was going well, she wanted to reconcile, which was truly shaless.
“What about Wu Qingsong, what did he say?”
“Of course he refused. Fuying is beautiful and talented. Her family background is countless tis better than Zhang Lancao’s. Unless Wu Qingsong is an idiot, he would never turn back and continue to be with an ungrateful woman like Zhang Lancao.”
Xu Ying smiled at this.
At that mont, the little one woke up, crying out loud. Xu Ying quickly picked up the child, who imdiately stopped crying.
On the other side, seeing her brother held in embrace, the little girl also felt aggrieved and started crying.
With no other choice, Xu Ying had to hold one child in each arm, which finally cald the crying.
Mrs. Xu chuckled, “So young, yet they already know how to compete for affection.”
Xu Ying felt the sa—two little smarties.
“Haven’t you nad them yet? It’s been so long, and I haven’t seen you or Huo Chen making any moves regarding this.”
Mrs. Xu wasn’t really eager to na the children herself; more that her daughter and son-in-law hadn’t ntioned it, and she wondered if they had forgotten.
“The grandparents on their father’s side are thinking of nas, they haven’t called yet. I guess they are still choosing the nas for the kids.” Xu Ying explained.
Mrs. Xu laughed upon hearing this, knowing that Huo Chen’s grandparents were educated and cultured people—their chosen nas would certainly be nice.
“Well, then our little treasures are waiting for their nas.”
Mrs. Xu had barely finished her sentence when Second Brother Xu ca back excitedly with his wife: “Mom, Mom, Mom.”
“I’m not dead yet, what are you yelling for?” Mrs. Xu replied loudly.
Second Brother Xu, upon hearing his mother in the younger sister’s room, quickly took his wife to knock on the door.
“Co in.”
Only then did Second Brother Xu and Xu Qiuye enter the room, with him excitedly handing over the dical report to Mrs. Xu: “Mom, you’re going to be a grandma again—I’m going to be a father.”
“Really?” Mrs. Xu asked excitedly.
Oh dear, another one—she’s going to be surrounded by a bunch of kids in her old age.
Maybe it’s because she’s getting older, but these days Mrs. Xu really enjoys seeing successive generations all together, a picture of family harmony.
“Look, it’s the hospital’s report; you can’t fake this.” Second Brother Xu said excitedly.
Xu Qiuye felt very delighted, touching her belly and feeling a bit of magic—she was going to be a mother.
“Have you told Mr. Qiu Ye and his wife about this? It’s such great news; they’ll definitely be happy.”
“I’ll call them right now.” Second Brother Xu slapped his thigh; how could he forget to tell Mr. Qiu Ye and his wife such important news?
The two of them hurried off to make the call.
